  • paralleldaniel1 Daniel Smith (@paralleldaniel1) reported

    @AskPlayStation I'm trying to play Overwatch 2 on PS4. I'm already logged in, but everytime I try to press X to get to the home screen I get error WS-44360-7. The PlayStation Support website says that error code doesn't exist. What do I need to do?

  • MooreDausen Dausen Moore (@MooreDausen) reported

    @sharintaint @Halo Despite these far worse issues, Overwatch 2 is somehow receiving less backlash/drama. Not because it's a better game, but because Halo fans have high standards you rarely see elsewhere.

  • KatsuneUK ⚡ツkinari⚡@ Cozy Bed (@KatsuneUK) reported

    Overwatch 2 is such a complete mess, people complaining roadhog is broken when roadhog never got changed, h6e's a technical Flank tank. Not a team fight tank. He doesn't need change. The game needs to revert back to 6v6. OH 2 shields? oh well, shoot them out. they don't last long

  • Zek_Qc Zek (@Zek_Qc) reported

    I'm i the only one having servers problem in Overwatch? Sometimes everyone in the game just suddenly walks through walls and when it comes back i cant use voice chat anymore.

  • Astrxeus 𝒜𝓈𝓉𝓇𝓍 (@Astrxeus) reported

    @lurmanzi • Rez has never belonged in Overwatch at all. They toned it down as much as they can, but the fact she can rez behind walls makes it not okay. • Damage boost has been a problem since Overwatch 1 with Ashe and multiple other damage dealers. It shouldn’t be an ability- (1/2)

  • LeKwietschi Kwietschi🫡 (@LeKwietschi) reported

    Pleasssse fix overwatch!!! What a **** game at the moment

  • cosmic_kirby CosmicKirby🔞 (@cosmic_kirby) reported

    @AArus_ow @OverwatchNaeri A majority of Overwatch's balance problems have been because of hero switching, this is just the most obvious. Paladins don't have these issues because you lock in at start.

  • Casual_Jacob_ Jacob🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@Casual_Jacob_) reported

    Well, new RAM installed seems OK after some hiccups. Only one instance of frame drops in Overwatch. HOWEVER, now a temperature issue is also cropping up, and one of my fans is making noises at times. If you need me, I'll just be hitting my head against the desk repeatedly.

  • bigdawgfm Brennan_UGA (@bigdawgfm) reported

    @KingSlayerz187 @Palle_Hoffstein The problem with player-generated graffiti is one of content moderation. Unless you limit players to using pre-defined "sprays", like in Overwatch, someone would inevitably write something mean/nasty and then it'd be ruined for all.

  • _Vampragon43_ Vampragon43 (@_Vampragon43_) reported

    @The_Apxche @KVLTFps @AlandreaRogers Uh, they do. Paladins today is not anywhere near as buggy as it was 2 years ago, nor as buggy as Overwatch 2 is. The biggest bug I've seen these days is Vii latching on invisible walls. Also, removing an entire character for 4 weeks to fix a single bug is definitely not it chief.

  • swallowyourfear meghan (@swallowyourfear) reported

    the problem with low elos in overwatch is they think they’re better than what they actually are so they won’t adjust their play style so you just get rolled, and they also just can’t kill a ******* mercy but, i digress

  • Niann03_ Niann03 (@Niann03_) reported

    @AbsoIutee erm it is actually against the overwatch terms of service to sell accounts mister

  • Diana_Dragoness Diana the samurott (@Diana_Dragoness) reported

    @PlayOverwatch please fix wrecking ball bug he can use two shield just like trob using two times boost please fix this bug overwatch before season 3 release youtube proof it too patch it please

  • GartellAlex multiplex graph (@GartellAlex) reported

    @MattOmni @klobrille It has had its season 3 delayed like 2 times at least I swear. Which is embarrassing tbh. And it says it isn't coming till March when I swart it was meant to come out like November of last year. Overwatch 2 that came out way after it is going to lap it in Seasons. That is a issue

  • blemephy Steve 🏳️‍🌈 (@blemephy) reported

    @TheAzureRose1 @pcgamer To be honest reddit saying she's fine is probably proof she's the problem since the overwatch sub is just a bunch of incorrect takes.

  • burnbliind lu boo ♿️🏳️‍⚧️ (@burnbliind) reported

    @Briggsycakes i mean true, I don’t really expect anything bc different from overwatch or overwatch league esp under the activision blizzard issues. if the game was ever going to be good it would have had adjustments made in early days, for me it’s always been like this and the bar is in hell

  • paupoji6 paupoji (@paupoji6) reported

    @PlayOverwatch overwatch my just for you shop is giving me two different legendary skins instead of one? is it officially broken or what’s happening

  • mercy_sora pocket soap (@mercy_sora) reported

    @Axyierl @DeadByBHVR I don’t find it a big issue cause it’s what Overwatch has been doing with event skins since day 1 of OW1, so I’m used to it. Sadly the community voted for this for DbD which is why it has this system now.

  • zeeker03 zeeker03 (@zeeker03) reported

    @luwunattv I had that issue in overwatch. Very inconvenient and demoralizing, no good.

  • RadioTequila_ Radio Tequila 🔧 EN VTuber (@RadioTequila_) reported

    I am so sorry everyone. My PC is having technical problems. Valorant froze my pc, overwatch wont launch, and I'm just getting more pissed and I don't wanna be pissed on stream. I'll make it up to you guys tomorrow if thats alright? I'll fix this up, I'm sorry.

  • FernandoFerna20 Fernando Fernandez (@FernandoFerna20) reported

    @overwatch OW exp is absolute ****. getting to 200 is a punishment not an achievement. Fix your exp @aaronkellerOW . Spamming games with noobs to get losses 24/7 is not fun. leveling is not fun.

  • Exa2552 Matthias | Exa (@Exa2552) reported

    I.e. it’s displaying “0:20” which one can only guess means 20 seconds (unit is missing) but I’ve been waiting three times for 10 minutes. NAT type is Open and I have no problem joining Overwatch or Battlefield games.

  • emiliox44 Emiliox44 (@emiliox44) reported

    @ArtChrone @ArrgeOW Have you not heard of overwatch hit boxes before? There’s dozens of videos showing how broken they are in ow

  • yunhodavibes YUNH0 GRABS ***** (@yunhodavibes) reported

    can overwatch fix tf up i just wanna play with chanti 😩

  • SynthhSE Synthh (@SynthhSE) reported

    @tylercolp I can tell you have ZERO clue about Overwatch and why Mercy is a problem. It's okay to admit you're bronze, but don't write articles complaining about influencers are literally pros.

  • lurmanzi Lurm (@lurmanzi) reported

    @Astrxeus How are they unhealthy for the game, the damage boost hadn't been an issue until Overwatch 2, and we all know how the rez has been changed numerous times, they could just go back to being able to res the whole team, but that wouldn't be healthy would it??

  • Elle_EmAyYo Elle Emayyo (@Elle_EmAyYo) reported

    @CandyKaineSwag You're obviously better at Overwatch than him. Sounds like a skill issue to meeeee

  • Sewiphwa Finger Remover 9000 🔪 (@Sewiphwa) reported

    @kr_byers @Phyerx Overwatch 2 was never meant to be intricate or detailed, it’s a fps. which is where I was confused to what you were trying to say. I’m sorry you lack the creativity to comprehend my question, I guess. Skill issue

  • ghost34377 Ghøst (@ghost34377) reported

    I don’t think the problem is Mercy. Overwatch has had a power creep problem for years now, nerfing Mercy won’t fix the underlying issue.

  • lilclowniehimbo Ramattra’s Cybernetic Attachment 🏳️‍⚧️🔞 (@lilclowniehimbo) reported

    @sodaliitettv Like, he was questioning why a gold 1 person was in his game I guess. But like? Overwatch is broken/has *** matchmaking. And instead of talking about the dps killing him or my tank out tanking him, he decided I was healing to much smh.
